World’s largest operating flow battery fleet

Since the market launch of our residential flow battery system in 2019, we have constantly increased the number of installed systems. Meanwhile, we have the largest fleet of operating flow batteries in the world.

Patented battery manufacturing

With our patented flow battery cell design, we were the first company in the world to succeed in developing a battery cell stack for flow batteries that can be manufactured automatically and thus produced in high numbers.

Iron salt technology

Unrivaled 50€ per kWh: The iron salt technology is destined to shape the future of battery storage beyond lithium, because of the widely available and low-cost iron-based storage medium.
